Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
1 large (3 1/2 pound) butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and diced into 3/4-inch cubes, divided (about 9 1/2 cups))
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme (divided (rosemary works as well))
2 cloves minced garlic (divided (about 2 tablespoons))
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
12 ounces kale* (tough stems removed and chopped or torn into bite-sized pieces, divided (I used curly kale))
1 medium yellow onion (thinly sliced, divided)
1 cup low sodium vegetable stock or chicken stock (divided)
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs** (or 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously grease a shallow 9x13-inch casserole dish or similar 3-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Prepare the filling in two batches: Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add half of the butternut squash, ½ tablespoon of the rosemary, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Sauté until the squash is beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. The squash will still be too firm to eat.
  • Next, add half of the kale, half of the onions, and half of the garlic. Cook until the kale and onions begin to soften, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the 1/2 cup of the chicken stock, stir, and let cook 1 minute so that the stock reduces slightly.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and with a spoon, prod it into a relatively even layer.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil in the skillet, then repeat the above steps with the remaining half of each of the ingredients. Transfer the rest of the filling to the casserole dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the squash is soft when pierced with a sharp knife.
  • While the squash bakes, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, sage, nutmeg, and salt. Pour the melted butter over the top. Stir to combine.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven, remove the foil, then sprinkle the top evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, return the dish to the oven, then bake uncovered, until the bread crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

If fresh butternut squash is not available, canned butternut squash purée can be used as a convenient alternative. - The addition of ginger adds a distinct and unique layer of taste to this casserole. Both fresh ginger and ground ginger can be used depending on personal taste and what is more easily available. - Using a combination of butter and coconut oil for sautéing the ingredients not only adds a lovely golden color to the dish but also infuses it with a delightful nutty aroma. - Incorporating a variety of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt enhances the overall taste profile of the casserole by adding depth and richness. - Including pecans not only adds a crunchy texture but also lends a slightly sweet and nutty earthiness to the dish. - Baking the casserole covered for 45-50 minutes allows the flavors to meld together and the butternut squash to soften perfectly, resulting in a creamy and cohesive dish. - Removing the foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking allows the top of the casserole to become slightly golden and crispy, adding a visually appealing touch to the dish. ### Serving Suggestions - Serve the Ginger Butternut Squash Casserole as a side dish with roasted chicken, turkey, ham, or fish for a special occasion meal. - This casserole can also be served as a main course for a vegetarian or fall-inspired meal, paired with a side of leafy greens or roasted seasonal root veggies. - Leftover casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months, making it a convenient dish for meal prepping. ### Nutritional Information - This recipe is a good source of dietary fibers due to the use of butternut squash, which is a good source of Vitamins A and C. - The use of coconut oil provides healthy fats and antioxidants. - Opting for unsweetened almond milk and maple syrup can make this dish a diabetic- and weight-loss- friendly option. ### Final Thoughts If you're looking for a delicious and comforting side dish that is perfect for fall and winter gatherings, Ginger Butternut Squash Casserole is an ideal choice. It's easy to make, bursting with flavors, and is sure to please everyone at the table. So, gather your ingredients, pre-heated your over, and let's get cooking!
